The Unbound World’s “Normal” is Difficult

15. "Ordinary" charitable activities (6)

Anna raised her vigilance to the maximum and stared at the man in front of her.

"... are you kidding me? There's no such thing as a woman on the fourth floor of a balcony going down to the ground and being safe."

"How about that?"

Lucas laughed joyfully in response to the spinning of calm.

"Don't worry about judgment because the woman I know close to usually jumps off a cliff and is safe."

Anna, who laughs at her face for the first time, must be filled with charm as a colored man.

However, Ana finally made her face strong, knowing the identity of his impersonating "woman."

If someone jumps off a cliff and is safe, it's nothing to endure.

"... what do you want from Elma?

"What is it?

I made up my mind and stepped in, but the opponent raised his eyebrows slightly.

Unable to gauge the time between them, Lucas cut it out as if nothing had happened.

"For example, Miss Anastasia. You are the adopted daughter of the St. Marquis of Rodrigo in Espiana, and you are from an unusual and endemic place of exile as an adopted daughter of a nobleman. Or did you possess a pile of dark vessels on your first day in Luden?

"............"

The information is completely out of the box.

In this case, the stage where you can stroke me will have already passed.

Anna stared at the man in front of her with hate.

"I knew it, Elma... she was going to throw me into the Knights from the beginning."

Probably because she stayed until the last day, she was done with it.

That's why I gave Anna's information to the Knights.

(Goddamn it...)

It's supposed to be more rational and "normal" behavior than an unfamiliar respect.

Then Anna can understand without confusion.

But now that you've been betrayed, the bottom of your heart hurts. Such a weakness of myself was abominable.

But...

"I couldn't hear you now, but did you say Elma was about to protrude into the Knights?

In the next words of Lucas, who leaned her neck, Anna opened her eyes wide.

"Then it's a misunderstanding. Elma is rather active in spreading good rumors about you."

"... what?

Anna, who groaned in her native language and then returned to me, rehearsed it in Ruden.

"What do you mean?

"Thank you so much. She wants to make you stand back no matter what. When people catch people, they praise you so much as they embarrass you. Of course, after praising my brother Bardo."

When I met my maid in the hallway, I said, "Ana-sama's hugging skills should be engraved in human history." I looked up to the Knights and said, "Ana-sama's guts are immovable like the ultimate mountain, so I should definitely be apprenticed."

Besides that, I said to everyone else, "Good morning, Baltan's cuteness is the only thing that stays the same. It feels so good weather today, Anna-sama's strange face is amazing," he said, mixing compliments like the end of the phrase. It was also a pleasant appearance.

"... no, it's not at all information that would benefit the selection..."

"Well, honestly, it's a fact that it's closer to grandparents' behavior when they're proud of their grandchildren than when they're operating impressions. However, with Elma flowing too favorably, the surroundings gradually said," Baldo is amazing. And I'm beginning to realize that it's amazing to have sex with Miss Anastasia. "

What is that!?

After returning to her native language again, Anna coughed in a hurry.

"That's incredible. Is that what she calculates?"

"No, it's not a calculation. Just because we're flying so far, she's... she's pretty simple, she's just translating what she thinks into action."

That's why it's easier to prepare and believe than to doubt and exhaust yourself.

The man in front of him adds so that he can tell himself why.

Whatever he was thinking, strangely, the words fell into Anna's heart.

Perhaps Elma was unconcerned and praised Bardo and Anna.

The imagination strangely distracted Anna's mind - but now it's not the time to talk like that.

"If she really didn't snitch on me, then why do you doubt me?

"Of course, I did my own research."

"You? Alone?

Lucas shrugged his shoulders to stop asking Anna.

"If you're serious, you're quite capable."

I wanted to know the size of my enemies, but the answer came back, so Anna frowned more and more.

"... that's it. What are you going to do with me?

"What do you mean?

"It's... it's up to you. Don't torture, don't kill."

I don't think I can get home safe now.

When asked impatiently - and it would still be disgusting to have a polite tone in Ruden - the opponent responded unexpectedly.

"Oh, if that's what you mean, I won't do anything."

"What about it?"

"This is still a knight. I don't have a hobby for hurting weak people."

Lucas sealed her gaze, challenging that she didn't know what it meant.

"Weak, right? Ever since I was on the balcony, I looked like I was halfway there and I was about to escape."

"............"

I wonder if it was seen from the beginning.

"Have you begun to question your 'mission', or on the contrary, have you missed the mastermind, or are you sick of Elma's training? I can't measure my mood... but I can't let you get away with it right now."

As you approach and whisper sweetly in your ears, it's always the femininity itself.

But Anna instinctively realized that the fever wasn't directed at her.

"If you escape, Elma may become my half-brother's wife. I want to crush that possibility anyway."

"... is that why she sticks to the semi-winning?"

That's sharp.

Anna thought a little as she waved away Lucas's hand, smiling secretly.

"Are you lovers? In that case, she never talked about you."

"... sharp."

Lucas' smile is slightly stronger.

What is sharp is that the content is more of a word than an observation eye.

With that alone, Anna understood the approximate relationship between the two.

"Hey, wait, why are you suddenly looking at me with pity?"

"No, not really."

When Anna consciously suppressed her expression, she was busy thinking.

To sum up, Elma doesn't seem to have any harmful intentions towards Anna.

He is the only one who knows who he is if he can believe Lucas' words.

And he wants to stop Elma from standing behind him, even at the risk of an assassin becoming queen.

(What you miss about me is that even if you're overconfident that you can disable me at any time - in the end, there's nothing else you can miss.)

When I forced myself to conclude, I felt a little relieved.

They allow the assassin to exist because they also have temptations and despise Anna.

Angry when I think it's on my palm, but I have no choice but to polish my nails solemnly in case it's sunny.

Felix, King of Luden, sits on the throne far above.

The only way we can get close enough to kill him is today without a pillow, and only after the final awards. We'll have to take advantage of the opportunity to give the queen a necklace.

(If you come this far, I'll do it...!

Ironically, thanks to Elma's education, I don't feel like losing to other candidates right now.

I don't think Elma, who is the only master, will be the enemy, but because the Elma herself wants to avoid "Yusho" after standing up, that means that there is nothing to obstruct her.

When Anna tightened her fist, she stared straight at Lucas.

"My hands and feet are getting cold. I want to make every effort for tomorrow , so it's time for you to take your time.

The intent contained in the words seems to have been well conveyed.

Lucas nodded with a flat face.

"Of course. I've got it. Excuse me. I hope you win with all my heart."

Then, please, point your hand at the balcony.

Anna went back to her room without any excuses, passing on the twinkles and pillars.

(Hmm, you're a faint man. I even let the scent of perfume drift.)

I rubbed my completely cold arms and froze my face.

Soon, the smell he was wearing passed to us.

It's a bad smell... hmm? A girl?

After sniffing again, Anna tilted her neck.

Perhaps, no, definitely, this is a girl's perfume.

I can tell from the beauty course that was included in the fierce special training in the last few days, when Elma knocked me down.

(I mean...)

If a colored man is drifting a woman's perfume, there is only one thing that comes to mind.

To calculate the distance you can see from where he came from and where Anna was standing on the balcony,

(Well, were you meeting someone at the hotel...?

For a moment, I thought it was Elma, but she doesn't wear perfume at all.

Even if you dress up for a man, you will avoid strong fragrances as long as you have Baldo's babysitter.

The remaining candidate is the one who is still in the hotel - Caroline.

As with Anna, it is thought that she went to stop her escape, but when the scent remains so strong, it is still possible to think of "that way".

"Oh, oh, well... that's a good man."

Anna sarcastically half-eyed.

While showing the appearance of worrying about Elma, what is this?

And right behind you,

You're a really nice guy.

A quiet gavel returns. Elma, of course.

Anna jumped a little.

"Nah... nah, nah, why are you here?!

Of course, since the bedding is complete, I want to take care of Anna-sama next. You just praised Baltan, didn't you? Do you want to spend the night talking about baltans?

I categorically refuse! I don't need any help! Normally, sleep with the kid!

…………

No, so don't look at me like that!?

After all, when I'm talking to Elma, my cool thinking goes somewhere.

As Anna breathed on her shoulders, Elma, who had been courteously delivering water, raised her gaze.

Dear Anna, You've been eating perfume with a very economical fragrance. "

"... be honest with me that it's cheap. This is what I am..."

Anna murmured, saying that she wasn't a hobby.

When you tell them that this was a move, you have to explain who you met.

At the potato potato ceremony, we talked about Lucas's woman's hobbies, and she hesitated a little.

At last, Elma nodded with a sad look.

"... I was stupid."

What?

"Ana, if you think about it, all I've given you over the past three days is Isaac Gilbertline... the contents of the fighting division. During this period when the queen's qualities had to be honed, Liesel Marilyn... that is, the beauty department was too neglected.

What?

What kind of line is that?

Feeling a bad feeling, Elma gently smiled at Anna, who was stiff.

"It's okay, we still have more than twelve hours before the finalists begin. From reviewing how to choose a perfume, biotech flowers, burst color diagnostics, and chemical makeup. From this moment on, I will dedicate all my beauty knowledge to you."

Anyway, I want you to stop mixing disturbing words!

Anna tried to pull her hand with all her might, but she couldn't let go.

It's about perfume quickly, but perfume is not only about enjoying aromas, but also about mental manipulation and brainwashing. To do this, we first classify fragrances by chemical formula.

Please don't enter the application section smoothly!?

Anna desperately blocks Elma from moving on to class.

But Elma objected 'no'.

I can't believe it's an application. These things are mixed up flat around us. "

What?

"For example... did you see the white flowers that were blooming in the nursing home fields today?

I couldn't understand the meaning of the question for a moment.

The white flower that was blooming in the nursing home field.

It's about that poor flower that was also blooming in Anna's village.

"Eh....?

It is a kind of common weed that blooms in cold and rough land. It is almost odorless when it is in bloom, but when it is processed by crushing petals, it has a sweet fragrance. The scent has a sedative effect, but if you keep sniffing it for a long time, it slows down your mind and makes brainwashing easier. "

Elma's explanation doesn't come into my head.

No, Anna was unconsciously refusing to allow something to connect in her brain.

White flowers often seen in the village.

Though plain, it smells strange when processed.

While the "non-toxic" plant was abnormally growing by singing, the flower was shaking in a small circle.

I mean...

Anna scratched her neck and looked at the desk by the bedside.

The hair accessories you haven't worn in the last few days, the drawers you left behind.

Hair accessories imitating white flowers, once given to me by my adoptive father.

The sound of the bell on the tip is mild and closer to the tip of the nose gives it the same scent as a real flower.

(I mean...?

Dear Anna, Focus on your special training. If you don't like talking about perfume, I will give a lecture all night on other beauty departments first, but is that okay?

"Ah... ahh..."

I replied slightly.

It was only a few minutes later that she realized that she had been terribly challenged.
